Many are asking, “What are the benefits of joining this committee?”

 We are all aware our healthcare systems are stressed.

 The number of healthcare workers is dwindling and many of you are wearing multiple “hats.”

 We are NOT prepared for the growing health demands of baby boomers.

 We are NOT prepared for the growing number of individuals with dementia

Our goal is to provide education, some might be "out of the box"; which will make us all stronger, more resourceful professionals, ready to serve our aging population. Your input will guide the topics presented.

Our mission is to unite caregivers, organizations, and agencies to enhance the lives of the elderly. Through collaboration, we provide support to caregivers and strengthen the capacity of organizations, ensuring every older adult receives dignified care and assistance.

The vision is that we see a vibrant community where caregivers, organizations, and agencies

converge in a shared commitment to providing compassionate and dignified care for the elderly.

Central to our vision is the elevation of education as a guiding light with knowledge and resources.Through collaborative efforts, we fortify organizational capacities, fostering an environment where older adults are honored with the respect and support they deserve, enabling them to thrive with dignity and grace.

Your expertise and dedication are invaluable assets. Please invite other professionals to participate and mark your calendars!
